FBI Seizes NYC Mayor Eric Adams' Electronic Devices Amid Campaign Investigation
The FBI has seized electronic devices belonging to New York City Mayor Eric Adams as part of an intensifying federal investigation into potential campaign finance violations. The investigation is examining whether Adams's 2021 campaign conspired with the Turkish government and others to funnel money into its coffers. The seizure of Adams's phones and iPad follows a raid at his chief fund-raiser's home, where laptops, iPhones, and documents were confiscated. Adams has not been accused of wrongdoing and is cooperating with authorities. The investigation is focused on potential violations of campaign finance laws and the use of a public matching program.
